Android versions/security updates are a plus after 2/3 years and rather than improving your experience, it might make it worse.

          blue.sun, 25 Mar 2021The phone shuts down after three years, with the last update? it wont necessarily shut down, it just wont receive software updates after said amount of years, generally Samsung will send out 1 extra year of security updates. currently Samsung phones get 3 years of software updates and 4 years of security updates

                "There's honestly very little to actually criticize about the Galaxy A52"

                Unfortunately looking at the software support of 2 years to 3 years, unacceptable !!!
                Does Samsung expect me to buy another mobile in 2/3 years time, again ?

                    " there is a 64MP option in the camera UI. We were honestly rather impressed with how much extra detail it brought into shots. Even the HDR seems to look a bit better at 64MP than at 16MP for some od reason. "

                    Feels like it's rushed like the S20 ultra.

                    The A52 5G takes much better shots, better than S20FE.
                    So, expect 4G version to perform close after a couple updates.

Take a look at apple for example: if you wsnt to upgrade from 4 ram to 8 it would cost you a 100 bucks

                        Wait, so you get a charger supplied with these budget midrangers but Samsung removed the budget for their premium phones? lolwut.

                          Camera has OIS but it doesn't take any better photos than its competitors! WTH

                            does it have ufs 2.1 or something else ?

                              considering the chipset, this is fricking expensive

                                It's be great to see the 5G version being reviewed, including the benchmarking comparisons. Look how the A42 5G kicks the A52's ass.

                                        Gsmarena is getting lazier day by day. First they dropped the headphone audio test and now they are slowly out phasing the delta E calculation numbers. Might as well drop the lab test header for something like Feel and Vibe tests. These test results are the one objective aspect that have kept them and their written reviews so relevant in times of subjective YouTube reviews. And what about the Netflix HDR compatibility. So many people use their phones as a Netflix binge gadget and yet such a big company doesn't have a Premium Netflix plan to check this aspect for their readers. Either its there or its not. Have consulted this website for over a decade from the Nokia 5800 times to buy phones so its really sad to see such complacency creep into their work. Might as well just stick to subjective YouTube reviews at this rate.
